A network administrator configures a First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) across two routers to ensure continuous network availability for clients on a local subnet. To enable seamless automated failover if the primary router fails, which address must be specified as the default gateway on the client workstations?
- The shared virtual IP (VIP) address assigned to the redundancy groupCevap
- BThe static physical IP address of the active router's LAN interface
- CThe loopback address assigned to the backup standby router
- DThe management IP address of the local Layer 2 access switch
Cevap
The shared virtual IP (VIP) address assigned to the redundancy group
The correct answer specifies using the shared virtual IP address assigned to the redundancy group. First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRPs) present a single virtual IP and virtual MAC address to local clients. When clients point their default gateway to this virtual IP, traffic is dynamically forwarded by whichever physical router currently holds the active role.
